Introduction
I have nothing against remakes, re-adaptaions, sequels, and prequels. In fact, I like - and occasionally love - a whole lot of them. But when they took on the Planet of the Apes franchise, they attempted something many have tried, but very, very few have ever done successfully. They attempted to remake something that was fantastic the first time around, and make it fantastic again.
And yet, they did it. The new Planet of the Apes trilogy was both a financial and critical success, re-imagining the original novel in its own way, yet still paying homage to the first films. It was all about the story, and what a great story it was. More films are supposedly in the works - let's hope.
Star Ace has just released several figures in their DeFo-Real series of vinyl figures based on the first film, Rise of the Planet of the Apes. While additional characters are coming, this first release is all Caesar. There are five different versions - five! I'm looking at two of them tonight.
The five revolve around two sculpts. In both Caesar is screeching. In one, he has his left arm raised and is holding a chain with hooks in his right; in the other, the left is down, and the right is holding a spear. Both of these figures come in two ways - just the figure (for around $70 or so), and with a base (called 'deluxe', and running about $10 more). I'm looking at one of the deluxe figures, holding the chain and hooks.
On top of those four versions, there's a 'limited edition' version of the spear holding Caesar, with a different spear, and it will run around $80. It does not come in a deluxe version with the base. I'm also checking out this one tonight.
